Did Terry lift the trophy first? As the captain I mean?

Moothead2 · 15 May 2013 at 22:16

3rd in the league (currently), 2 Semi-finals and a European Cup...not bad, Rafa. Always quite liked him

Yep, alongside Lampard.

Fantastic result. Chelsea deliver every year. Really happy for Ivanovic to get the winning goal after having to miss last year's final.

Anyone else think the Europa Trophy looks better than the CL trophy?

You cant be serious?

You would have thought he would have let Lampard take the honour :/

Stay classy Terry.

Ah fair call (though a Europa league (iirc) and two champ league medals would beg to differ

Losing 5/7 CL semis aint that good with the money he's had

Damn it FA holding Semi final's at Wembley :mad:

Haha, good to see Jt the glory hunter in full kit despite not playing and lifting the cup.
Look forward to another few months of photoshopping him in everything

Well done Chelsea, very pleased for their fans.

I hope Fernando Torres can kick on from here, and get back to near his best.

Just had a look at the stats, against barcelona and bayern last year and benfica this year vs chelsea, to see how badly chelsea got outplayed. Truly shocking statistics.

Chelsea at those 4 games in total had, 15 shots on target, 14 off target and 7 corners in total.

Compared that to the opponents (barcelona, bayern & benfica), they had a total of 30 shots on target, 49 off target and 42 corners.

Can't believe these last 4 games I saw. Chelsea surely must be the most lucky team in the history of football?

Won or went though against all these sides, while being totally outplayed and dominated. Unbelievable

Benitez will be well happy. 6 page CV now for him.

I moaned when Rafa came in, but I'll be the first to admit defeat and say he's done a good job.

He would've probably done an even better job if the foolish Chelsea fans hadn't slated him so much.

Amazing what he managed to do whilst being abused for about four months at every game, I imagine most would crumble
